Hi
Jonathan.
The
behaviour is unexpected and it is undesirable because I believe the
light should be orange only when pressing the button which disables
the device. In the past, the ath5k driver worked at a rate of 1 Mb/s
rather than the 54 Mb/s that it’s working at now (as mentioned
previously) according to gnome’s network manager applet but I have
never noticed anything qualitatively wrong other than the light
flicker. Most importantly, long ago, prior to removing the
pre-installed copy of Windows Vista, I recall the hardware not
behaving like this (and the light was a constant blue when the
network was enabled and orange when it was disabled).
